Melee's 'Glitches' (that aren't really glitches)

Sometimes it really is just meant to be that way. Sometimes.

Thanks for having me on friend!

Fun fact, melee nerds call the nameless in-game unit "Melee-meters" or Mm, and 1 Mm is equivalent to 0.1 meters (1 decimeter) as displayed in home run contest. So a phantom hit is an overlap of less than 1 millimeter.

I reckon V Cancelling is the devs throwing a bone for trying to airdodge but not making the input in time. Especially when you consider every requirement for it to come through making it closer to airdodges more than techs

[MishKoz]

6:13 I've heard a theory that it was mainly meant to be used by computer opponents. Like on higher difficulties they'd just automatically V-cancel wherever possible.

[tysonfontanez]

I think if we as a community actually called the mechanics "smooth landing" and "glancing blows", less people would think that they're glitches

[SimpleFlips]

I feel like you phantom hit me when you left and never called again...

[ThePiMan]

I actually really like phantom hits in any context other than competitive play. I remember finding a strat on the Japanese language home run context with peach way back in the day that let you get multiple consecutive phantom hits with her down smash, racking up a shit ton of damage without ever sending the bag flying. For years before I learned how to bat drop, it was my highest score in the game.

AsumSaus is the GOAT of melee content and it is not even close

[DSmittie]

Petition to change L-canceling to smooth landing. It would be hilarious

[whoisanarnb]

Ice Climbers phasing within each other about to ascend beyond the mortal plain while AsumSaus calmly talks in the intro kills me

[CoachJohnMcGuirk]

I just feel bad for that fully depressed shoulder button. I'm here for it if it needs to talk to someone.

[Feliloler]

You know the day becomes blessed when AsumSaus uploads a video

[tbtb]

The fun thing about phantom hits/glancing blows is that is how the former seems more like a glitch because of the community name and visual effects
The small sparks added Brawl onwards describe the situation of barely missing better than in Melee

[BrotherManBilliam]

2:30 love how fox gets rested and jiggly still loses a stock lol

[Yahiamice]

so... could you call a V-cancelling... a V-TEC?

[DeadweightLKS]

Hey, I've been really struggling with depression lately and feeling a lack of passion for most things, but rewatching a lot of these videos has been almost like an oasis to me. I love the weird obscure details of this game, even if I've only ever played it casually and watched tournaments online. Thank you for every one of these

[GamersAtFault]

wow, the editing in this one was even more insane then other times. the part that REALLY caught me off guard was that intro, nice job asumsaus!

[DetectiveJones]

Its always surprising how crazy good editing for a video can be when talking about weird half bugs from a over 20 year old game

[indie.]

4:02 "please subscribe i am begging you" over the player names caught me off guard 😭

[ShiNoNaiHasu]

YouTube knows that I will click and rewatch your videos over and over, I always get your videos in my recommendation.

I've probably watched this video 4 times in 2 week
